Question

You need to rent meeting space in a downtown co-working center that charges $25/hour per room. If you want the largest room for your money, which room is a better deal? The Hub Room, measuring 9 feet by 11 feet, or the Huddle Room, measuring 8 feet by 12 feet, and by how much?

Answer 1

Hub room is larger than Huddle room

Explanation:

There are two room options to rent for meeting.

(a) The Hub Room, measuring 9 feet by 11 feet

Area of the room = Length × Width

= 9 × 11 = 99 feet²

(b) The Huddle Room, measuring 8 feet by 12 feet

Area of the room = 8 × 12 = 96 feet²

Difference in size = 99 feet ² - 96 feet² = 3 feet²

The area of the Hub room is larger than the area of the Huddle room.

Therefore, If you want largest room, The Hub room would be a better deal.
